to evaluate recent scientific research studies related to the changes in skeletal muscle after stroke and the presence of sarcopenia in stroke survivors to establish its incidence and effects on function.
Recently published findings on stroke-related sarcopenia are limited. This might be due to changes in the consensus definition of sarcopenia. Sarcopenia in stroke patients is estimated at 14 to 54%. The presence of sarcopenia at the time of a stroke can lead to worse recovery and functional outcomes.
Presence of sarcopenia prior to a stroke may be more common than suspected and can lead to worse functional recovery. Clinicians should be aware of this to better identify and treat stroke-related sarcopenia. Future research should focus on larger population studies to more accurately establish correlation between stroke and sarcopenia.
评估近期与中风后骨骼肌变化以及中风幸存者肌肉减少症的存在相关的科学研究,以确定其发生率及其对功能的影响。
最近发表的关于中风相关肌肉减少症的研究结果有限。这可能是由于肌肉减少症共识定义的变化。中风患者中肌肉减少症的估计发生率为14%至54%。中风时存在肌肉减少症会导致更差的恢复情况和功能结局。
中风前存在肌肉减少症可能比预期更常见,并会导致更差的功能恢复。临床医生应意识到这一点,以便更好地识别和治疗中风相关的肌肉减少症。未来的研究应侧重于更大规模的人群研究,以更准确地确定中风与肌肉减少症之间的关联。
